CloudKit Design
I would like to create a Push To Talk app, in which an account can grant or remove access to be able to talk to. Any device they are signed in with iCloud on are automatically sent the audio files to chat. Audio files are deleted after being listened to or after 4 hours, since this is used as a live voice communication app. In researching CloudKit, I'm still thoroughly confused on what I can store on the Public Database. If I set up all 'chats' (voice in my case) to have an account GUID associated with them, then they are secured, meaning no one else can change the query to pull or view another accounts information correct? I have heard that if the device is jailbroken, then someone can change the queries, but I'm asking in general, can the Public database on CloudKit be used as a normal database? Or could I at least encrypt the voice data with a key that's stored in the private database and could 'share' the key with the other account I'm wanting to give access to to talk with? Again to reiterate, I'm also confused how you create the Private Database schema, where the CloudKit Dashboard is only designing the Public correct? Out of all the tutorials I've seen, no one can quite explain if we can use the Public Database the same as any other Cloud Database, since if someone would jailbreak that device, they have the keys to that 3rd party Cloud, the same as CloudKit. There's been a few people ask similar questions (around building a messaging app with CloudKit) but no responses are helpful, some just scream it's public you can't do that, which i don't think is true. Any insight into design wise of the Public Database would be very beneficial. Thanks!

Same app, different data.
Hi there, I have been using some different (IPA) versions of the same game (Hay Day) for multiple game accounts. However, yesterday, all of the versions seem to be using a same data. Which mean, when I logged in an account A on an app version 1, the app versions 2 will logged exactly that account A in by itself. I was trying to reinstall those IPA, factory reset my device, but the problem has been still there. Does anyone know how to fix it please? Thanks so much!

Unable to sign packages for intune deployment
My company would like to deploy packages from Perimeter 81 and cybereason to our macos devices managed by Intune, but we are getting the following error message when trying to create the distribution file: productbuild --synthesize --package ./cybereason.pkg ./distribution.xml productbuild: error: "./cybereason.pkg" is a product archive, not a component package. productbuild --synthesize --package ./perimeter.pkg ./distribution.xml productbuild: error: "./perimeter.pkg" is a product archive, not a component package. I do not have experience with packaging outside of the basic instructions provided by Microsoft, but is anyone familiar with how to get around this error message? Thanks

Enable SecureToken to new user created with script
Hi everyone, these days I'm trying to enable the secureToken to a new user that is created via a script distributed by intune. The script simply "demotes" the current admin of the machine and creates a new one. The problem arises at this point: the new admin created in this way has the secureToken set to DISABLED. I would like to enable it without having to log in with the new user just created (which would lead to enabling the token since the bootstraptoken is enabled). I also tried the following command: sysadminctl interactive -secureTokenOn Administrator -password supercomplexpassword but having the -interactive option requires the user to put username and psw, which is very inconvenient. I also tried the following 2 commands, but they fail to activate the secure token: sysadminctl -secureTokenOn Administrator -password supercomplexpassword sudo sysadminctl -adminUser "newmac" -adminPassword "NewPassword1" -secureTokenOn "Administrator" -password "supercomplexpassword" does anyone know other methods? thank you very much for helping

EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=1, address=0x50) on an apparently valid pointer
Hi, I need help with this cryptic error I am having: After some lib updates, I suddenly experience a segfault error in some of my executable products of my project. The line of code crashing is simply in the likes of this: shared_pointer<Object> p = make_shared<Object>(params); // [ a lot of lines of code and different files later...] coud << p << endl; The pointer p appears valid, and lldb provides the following information of it: p std::__1::shared_ptr<const wolf::StateBlock>::element_type @ 0x0000000102706998 strong=4 weak=2 and I can navigate through all the fields of the pointed Object (of type wolf::StateBlock). I can "fix" this error with, for example, a cast of the pointer into an unsigned int: shared_pointer<Object> p = make_shared<Object>(params); [ a lot of lines of code and different files later...] unsigned int pui = (unsigned int)p; coud << pui << endl; with the result of my code crashing somewhere else with a similar error. Notes: The error appears when I compile and execute the code in macOS Monterey. The same code compiles and runs just fine in Ubuntu. The error message is: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=1, address=0x50) The dumped assembler code reads: 7FF81EB1527C: 4C 89 E6 movq %r12, %rsi 7FF81EB1527F: 4C 89 EA movq %r13, %rdx 7FF81EB15282: 4D 89 F0 movq %r14, %r8 7FF81EB15285: 41 FF 51 50 callq *0x50(%r9) 7FF81EB15289: 48 85 C0 testq %rax, %rax 7FF81EB1528C: 75 17 jne 0x7ff81eb152a5 ; <+261> 7FF81EB1528E: 48 8B 03 movq (%rbx), %rax where the error is at the line 7FF81EB15285: 41 FF 51 50 callq *0x50(%r9) Crash report

Application is crashing on launch: tvOS
When i launch the app from remote, app is crashing. Xcode: Version 13.4.1 (13F100) tvOS: tvOS 15.5.1 (19L580) Swift My Apple TV app getting crashed on app launch. No crash report generated by system. I'm only getting below error in console. [com.mycompanyname.bundleId] CALLED IMAGE GENERATOR FOR <XBApplicationSnapshot: 0x13bf96090; …A80C7A4D06A6> [com.mycompanyname.bundleId]. This should be considered a last resort, and will likely result in significant blocking of the calling thread! reason: image data requested

Background mode for sustained networking
Hi. I've been developing an iOS-/watchOS-app that connects to an embedded device, using swift-nio-ssh. While the iOS app takes care of the connection and all related data-munching, it doesn't have much of an UI. The Watch app is there to control the device, exchanging WatchConnectivity messages with the iPhone - the user will need their hands free. As it stands, I have to keep the iPhone app active, because otherwise the connection will die within a few seconds. What the customer wants though, is to be able to do anything they please with their phone, while connected to the device: receive calls, answer messages, change settings, lock it, etc. Now that I've made myself familiar with APIs Apple offers for extended background runtime, none of them fit my use case. From what I've gathered, it could be possible to abuse Audio, VoIP or NetworkExtension background modes, but then the app wouldn't make it through review. Is there a way to get some kind of explicit approval for me doing the aforementioned (The app's supposed to be distributed in-house only through Apple Business Manager)? If so, what would be the best way to go about it? Any hints? Thanks for your time!

Update not working.
Hello Developers. I am at a loss. I am trying to update my app to a new build but Transporter keeps giving me errors. My question to you all is simple I think? Do I need to create a new certificate for an update? Do I also need to create new Identifiers? Do I also need to create new CSRs? Do I need to also create new mobile provisioning file?**** I am sending a new IPA file but it keep crashing transporter with errors about the build? Ugh. Any help would be great. Thanks, JC

Account Termination
Dear Apple Team, I am working with apple a long duration before. But sudden i got rejection on my one game and apple removed my game from appstore and flagged my account for termination. I have a question. That in review answer apple review team rised a question that may be this is caused because we used any other game name which mislead the users. But we can not use that name which is already used because apple not allow to take that name which is already used. Even during review appstore review tea accept my submission. If they have any issue they can easily reject my game. Even they never send me mail related policy violation but after one month they sudden removed my game and directly flagged my account for termination. It's my humble request to apple teams please check this issue and resolve my issue. I really worked hard for my this account. I want to arrange meeting with apple team if possible please solve my issue. Regards.
